This smart and sassy read introduces Sasha Jackson, a quick-witted PI in Toronto who finds herself embroiled in a problematical case involving the murder of a reluctant groom who left his bride at the altar. Nearly everyone Sasha interviews about the killing seems to have a connection with the man’s suspicious business dealings but a rock-solid alibi.

The author, Jill Edmondson, lives in Toronto and teaches communications in the Faculty of Hospitality at George Brown College. While I have no idea what the Faculty of Hospitality is, I do know that Edmondson writes a fast-moving book with a hip protagonist named Sasha Jackson.
Sasha is fairly new to the private investigation world. Her former occupation was “rock band singer.” She gets hired to investigate the murder of a groom-to-be. The would-be bride is close to bankruptcy, but she More...

Rookie P.I. Sasha Jackson doesn’t like her new client Christine Arvisais, but Christine is the only client she has and bills must be paid.

This is a light read, but I gave it a 3 because I liked the detail of the Toronto setting and also the humorous style of the writing. It's a debut mystery about a newly-trained private detective, a former singer who wants a more stable job and does the Law and Security course at Sheridan College. She's been working (for herself) for about a year when a young woman comes to her to solve a murder. The woman was a suspect, although released because she had an airtight alibi, but she feels the aura

As a writer, I've discovered it's difficult for me to review books of authors I've met or have had some communication with. Because of the ebook SNAFU with Blood and Groom, Jill Edmondson kindly sent me paperback copies of this book and her next one. And I wanted very much to give this book a rave review. Much to my regret, I can't, but I can say it's the kind of book you pick up when you want to switch your brain off and just escape into a quick read.

Sasha Jackson is one of the best characters I've discovered in a book. An ex-musician turned private investigator, she's edgy & unconventional. Author Jill Edmondson shines a bright light on Toronto and uses some fabulous phrasing. Well-done.

Good mystery plots, clever title, likeable main character, though the cover of the book could have been more attractive. Full review: http://bookbirddog.blogspot.com/2009/11/...
